Bookish Humor: “Better Book Titles”

Comedian Dan Wilbur takes the art of writing plot summaries to a new level: he’s dreamed up some sarcastic alternative titles to Classics and Bestsellers You Meant to Read But Somehow Never Did. (Actually, you probably did read some of these books – but wondered later Why You Bothered.)

Wilbur’s send-up of the herd aspect of popular reading tastes and over-the-top book publicity is called Better Book Titles.

One Booklover’s Journey

Your blogmeister's chronicle of his own current, past, and anticipated adventures in reading is displayed in the sidebar of another blog he writes.

If you'd like an admittedly idiosyncratic source of book recommendations, you are invited to press the FOLLOW button at this other blog.

And of course readers' comments about posts to the Atlanta Booklover's Blog are always welcome, especially alerts about further fodder for the Booklover's Blog, or for recommending additional titles your blogmeister might want to add to his burgeoning "Books Cal Wants to Read" list, which he maintains at that other blog.
